Who should be county clerk?

Saratoga Springs Supervisor Joanne Yepsen is not on a short list to replace state Senator-elect Kathy Marchione as Saratoga County clerk, and doesn’t want to be. The elected position becomes vacant on Jan. 1, when Marchione becomes senator. Gov. Andrew Cuomo will make an appointment to fill the job. Marchione presently earns an annual salary of $99,589.
